Saltwater Aquarium Supply

Additional airstones, fluid-moving pumps are great at eliminating anaerobic zones, moving wastes to filters, and speedy processing/removal.

Aeration:

Likewise cannot be easily overdone. Beware of the dangers of too fine bubbles (smaller than 0.1 mm) by limiting their possible exposure within a contactor or skimmer.

Filter Basics:

Removing Organics.

in the form of nitrogenous wastes (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates), phenols, scatols and much more is the principal goal of filtrati

The Balanced Aquarium: Once very common, aquariums like this are rare these days. Before modern filtration devices were invented, this was the only means of keeping an aquarium. Usually equipped only with aeration or a simple power filter, a balanced aquarium has many plants (or lots of photosynthetic organisms in a marine version), and very very few fish, so that all of the nitrogen produced by the fish is used by the plants (or algae and corals in saltwater). An example of a balanced freshwater aquarium would be a 55 gallon tank, heavily planted with only about

Often seen in tiny little bowls in the pet store, this male of this species is fiercely territorial and must be kept in separate bowls or aquariums or they may fight to the death.

These interesting fish are equipped with a tipped up mouth that enables them to get air from the surface of the water and, therefore live in small bowls or those plant vases t

We are sure there are many other suitable species for starting a new marine aquarium, we just havent tried them.

Always remember to start an aquarium with no more than 25% of the total carrying-capacity of the tank. See our Guidelines for Stocking an Aquarium for more information.

Intervention methods by aquarists; water changes, chemical filtrants, sped-up complete biological cycling (wet-dry filtration, algal scrubbers, abundant, vigorous live rock, macro-algae) can be brought into play to successfully limit the "bottle-neck" accumulation of nitrate ("8").

Expediency and Rates of Reaction:

Depending on such factors as the physical format of food/wastes provided, temperature, bacteria population dynamics, and oxygen supply, biological filtration in your system can be a forgotten breeze or an unending nightmare.
